Note: I am running xbmcbuntu using frodo and Yes i've always had the 'let play' option selected - and here is my favourites.xml

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ku9dah0rp7tkk2...urites.xml

as you can see the listing of chrome-browser in favourites action starts with 'playmedia' is this whats affecting playback?

Try to manually replace PlayMedia by RunScript... but I'm not sure it will fix it. Maybe XBMC need to focus to play the next media.

Is Advanced Launcher working for the Windows version of XBMC 12.1? I can't narrow the focus of a forum search to find it, and 480 pages is a lot to read thru, so I thought I'd just ask. I have tried searching though...

Thanks!

Yes, Advanced launcher is working with version 12.1 of XBMC.

@Angelscry - manually changed favorites.xml as you said to RunScript - launches ok but audio still gets me only one track then nothing. Not to worry I will use chrome via advanced launcher on my homepage but many thanks for the help quick responses.

Just thought I'd mention this as it stumped me for a while and it might help someone else out. I installed airfoil to stream music from xbmc to airport express connected speakers but once it was installed on my computer, (windows 8) advanced launcher wouldn't run any more. Bit of an odd conflict but as soon as I removed airfoil it started working again. I installed it again just to make sure and again advanced launcher stopped working. Airfoil wasn't even running?? Hope this helps someone

This may have been answered, but go to autostart menu in airfoil and remove any program that you asked airfoil to automatically start and launcher will work again. No need to delete the whole airfoil program. Just did this in Frodo 12.2 and everything works again.

Hello All,

Sorry if i'm breaching any thread etiquette by posting here. I have searched for an answer for several days now. Hopefully its easy and my search criterion were just not exact enough. Any way, the problem: When using Advanced Launcher (latest version from the developer repo) to launch a standalone executable (Windows Media Center) from Windows 7 (32bit) XBMC 12.1, it launches WMC perfectly. I can go about my business; easy peasy. But when i close WMC, it doesn't FULLY return focus back to XBMC. WMC closes, XBMC returns, but not in the foreground; the Windows taskbar has focus. I have the video settings set correctly per the instructions at the beginning of the thread. XBMC is NOT minimized, but the windows taskbar is on top of the xbmc window so I have to use my mouse to click on the XBMC icon on the taskbar, and then the xbmc window returns to the foreground (focus).

Before i go into a rube-goldberg solution with EventGhost to correct this, i was hoping the community at large has experienced this, or something similar, and may have some advice on other methods to try.

Thanks so much!

Stu

There is not really "magic" solution. This problem occurs only for Windows operating systems and depend of : the application you want to start, the version of XBMC, the version of Windows, and the XBMC video/audio setup you are using. Here is the my actual suggestion : "Audio" set to DirecSound, "Video" set to True Fullscreen and Advanced Launcher "Toggle XBMC into Windowed Mode" option set to OFF (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1324197). But it could be different on your system. BTW, there is also some solutions using .bat or autoit scripts to force application to regain focus : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=199

Thanks again!!

I have a little problem with the Advanced Launcher. Created 3 advanced launcher (emulators / Games / Software)

If I enter the emulator or the Software, when I go out (ESC) and enter the Games, Emulators appears or Programs (depending on which was the last to be accessed)

The problem does not happen if I access games and then Programs or Emulators, not even access programs and then access Emulators

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Remembering that: it was the original games (Advanced Launcher) Programs, the second (advanced Launcher 2) Emulators, the third (advanced Launcher 3)

Another question, Why can not I access the context menu of the Advanced Launcher for controlling Xbox 360?

Thanks for helping

This probleme is due to the fact that your duplicate version of Advanced Launcher have really similar name and XBMC, since Frodo release, is not anymore able to make difference between each duplicate version. The only way to solve it, is to use actually the GIT version of Advanced Launcher that include launchers categories support... After this version there will be no need to use duplicate version of Advanced Launcher anymore.

Another question, Why can not I access the context menu of the Advanced Launcher for controlling Xbox 360?

What do you mean? I do not really understand. Advanced Launcher context menu is Advanced Launcher dedicated menu... and has nothing related to XBOX 360 ...?

The problem is that Advanced Launcher is just an add-on to start external applications, it has nothing to do with joystick/gamepad controls. If you want/mean to have XBOX gamepad control into XBMC, ask XBMC devellopers to add it. If you want/mean to have XBOX gamepad control into your started applications, setup your operating system (Windows, Linux) and your applications to have it.
